Design the life you are ready to live.
Ten days to get honest about where you are, move through what's stopping you, and leave with a real plan.
October 23 – November 1, 2026Beskydy Mountains, Czech Republic
The recognition
You have done the work. So why hasn't your life changed?
You know how to breathe. You know how to feel.
And yet...
02
The work pays the rent and takes the life out of you, or it means something and doesn't pay.
03
Money is a source of quiet shame you have never really looked at directly.
04
You are in your body on the mat and out of it everywhere else.
05
You have been about to make the change for two years.
06
You can describe your purpose in a session and cannot find it on a Tuesday.
07
Something is missing and you are tired of being told to sit with it.
Insight is not the bottleneck. Structure is. This retreat is where you build it.
What you leave with
What you actually walk out holding
Concrete things, in your body, written down, in your hands.
A written life design
All four rooms, in your own hand
A purpose statement
One sentence that holds up outside the retreat
Your core beliefs, named
Found in the body, with a practice for each
A 90-day plan
Real actions, real dates, across all four rooms
A circle who watched you commit
People who'll still be here in March
One night you lose track of yourself
We build for it deliberately
We make no promises about outcomes, and nothing here is medical or therapeutic advice. What we can offer is the conditions, the structure and our full attention.

The week
The Living Week: October 26–30
Weekend One is us holding your hand. The week is us letting go of it on purpose. That space is where you practise being the person you just designed.
A sample week. Exact activities and evenings may move.
08:00
Movement and meditation, every morning
After breakfast
Open sharing: a story, an activity, a workshop, a presentation, a dance, a song, a poem. Bring your full raw self.
Day
Yours: wander, journal, cook
Evening · All four open to the public
Wandering
Taught Monday. You go out with no destination and no plan, and let yourself be drawn.
We provide breakfast each day. The rest of the meals are co-created. Bring what you want to offer, and we cook and eat together. Private somatic bodywork is available on request. Full details →
October 30 – November 1 · By inquiry
The Secret Immersion
We don't describe this weekend on a public page.
Partly because it works better when you haven't spent three months rehearsing it in your head. Partly because it isn't for everyone who reads this far, and the conversation is how we find out.
If the first eight days speak to you, ask. We'll tell you exactly what it is, and you will know quickly whether it's yours.
Four parts
Four parts of one life
We work all four. You can't fix one while ignoring the other three.
four parts of one life, tap to explore
- Body + Health: Energy, sleep, nervous system
- Money + Work: What you earn, what you do, how it pays
- Love + Relationships: The patterns you keep repeating
- Purpose + Spirituality: What you're for, and what's larger than you

Questions
Frequently asked
What exactly happens on the first weekend?+
Friday: arrival, opening circle, authentic relating games, a fire ceremony, a vegan dinner by our chef, and an early night. Saturday: morning movement and meditation, then an honest inventory, a design thinking workshop across the four rooms of your life, then a walk alone in the forest, somatic work on the beliefs underneath, a temazcal, dinner and rest. Sunday: direction and purpose in the morning, the design and 90-day plan in the afternoon, then the commitment circle and a celebration dinner. The full hour-by-hour schedule is in the Weekend One section above.
Do I need previous experience?+
No. Curiosity and willingness to be honest in a group is enough.
How structured is the week?+
Mornings are held, four evenings are held, and the rest is spacious and co-created by design. That space is where the practice actually happens.
Can I come just for one part?+
Yes. The Design Weekend (October 23–25) and the Living Week (October 26–30) can be booked separately.
Can I come just to one of the open evenings?+
Yes. All four evenings, meaning the community dinner, the temazcal, tea and sound, and the dance workshop with ecstatic dance, are open to the public as drop-ins, and each has its own page with details.
What is the Secret Immersion?+
We share this one in conversation rather than in writing. Message us and we'll tell you: wa.me/420604293385
What languages are spoken?+
Sessions are held in English, with optional Czech translation.
Is this therapy?+
No. It is not medical or therapeutic treatment. If you are in acute crisis, this is not the right container and we will say so honestly.
Where exactly does it happen?+
In the heart of the Beskydy Mountains. The venue is set; we share the exact location and address with everyone who books.
Where do I sleep, and is food included?+
Accommodation details will be confirmed with the venue. During the week we provide breakfast; the rest of the meals are co-created, so we cook and eat together.
What should I bring?+
Warm layers for late Czech autumn, clothes you can move and sweat in, a notebook you like writing in, and shoes for the forest. A full list goes out with the logistics.
What is the refund policy?+
All payments are non-refundable, including the deposit, the balance, and any add-ons. Once your spot is held it is held.
How do I ask a question?+
WhatsApp is fastest: +420 604 293 385, wa.me/420604293385
You already know what needs to change.
Ten days, a small group, and a structure that makes you actually do it.
